Resource names and UNC formats
Resources in a SAN are identified in several ways, including UNC format. UNC (Universal or
Uniform Naming Convention) identifies a resource in terms of its hierarchical location in a network.
See the following for name and UNC formats: DR groups, Enabled hosts, Host volumes, Storage
systems, and Virtual disks (storage volumes)
Resource names in job commands
When you initially enter a command in a job, the command's resource arguments are displayed
as %variable% names, for example:
CreateDiskDevice (%storvol_unc_name%, %host_name%, 0, READ_WRITE)
When selecting a specific resource from an Editing Task menu, the resource names are presented
in a UNC format, or other format, as appropriate for the resource. If you enter a resource name
from the keyboard, you must use the appropriate format.
IMPORTANT: UNC names in job commands are case sensitive.
After selection or entry of arguments, the command is displayed with resource names in quotes,
for example:
CreateDiskDevice ( "\\ArrayA2\Cats", "HostA6", 12, READ_WRITE )
Name formats and examples for resource types follow.
DR groups
ExampleName format (UNC)
\\ArrayA2\DrGrpPets
Identifies the DR group named DrGrpPets on the storage
array named ArrayA2.
\\array name\path\DR group name

The job editor and command validation accept these formats.

format.

such as partitions and slices.
